(a) Counts in this study are the ‘Parts of the Skeleton Always Counted’ (PoSACs; [65], [99]). Counts in the 2000 study are NISP (Number of Identified Specimens) for the total assemblage. In the 2000 study, the material from layers 1, 2, and 2D, as well as from REM (material from profile collapse recovered from the bottom of the 1960s trench) was grouped in a single “Layer 2” assemblage [61]. In this study, layer 2 includes only in situ material, while the material from disturbed areas was combined with layer 1 to form the “1/2D” sample.
(b) As trace intrusive material from the recent Holocene was found in the upper part of layer 2 (Table 1), this one sheep must represent a specimen that went undetected when the collection was sorted to exclude such contaminants.
(c) Rabbit counts for layer 3 do not consider the material included in the bulk radiocarbon sample ICEN-491 (Table S1).
(d) Hyena counts between parentheses refer to coprolites.
(e) “Chips” are unidentifiable fragments of large mammal bones. These counts do not consider the material included in the bulk bone samples ICEN-490, ICEN-491 and ICEN-732 (Table 3).
